Winter June Blooms

Not many flower plants blooming in winter at our small garden now. But there are few self-sowed and perennials blooming in this sunny weekend which got confuse that it is spring at the moment. Self-sowed pot marigold and corianders blooms in the shade.

A few perennial geranium blooming.

Confused perennial polyanthus blooming.

Happy that the cheerful sunflowers still providing food for the bees. The bees in winter are much more bigger than the ones in summer.

We had a very Sunny Saturday yesterday. Spent the whole day in the garden yesterday and finally finished tidying and organising our backyard container garden. We also got to plant some excess vegetable and flower seedlings near our neighbour side driveway to our house. So happy that she agreed that we can plant vegetables or flowers there since it is only growing weeds. Hopefully transplanted seedlings grow well there.

Such beautiful blooms! Not many blooms in my garden at the moment, just some trumpet vine and native hibiscus. We've been enjoying some sunny weather too. Been so inspired by your gardening I bought and planted some seed potatoes in a sack, hoping to see if it works :)

MKG dear,I'm so jealous of your garden. Mama didn't plant much flowers when we were in Sydney. But we've always admired the neighbours' gardens that we can see from the balcony or across the street. purrr....meow!

Looking amazing!! My hives are still quite active, particularly since we haven't had much rain recently. Plus there's nectar and pollen to be had in gardens like yours, which is great over the winter when these are scarcer. I'm going to look at a few of the perennials for my own garden. Thanks!

We have started gardening for about 4 years now since I had my first pregnancy scan with Rayyan and he was diagnose with cardiac defect.We want our children to know where veggies come from and eat vegetable which is chemical free. Furthermore taste the true flavour of heirloom vegetables and fruits. Our gardening adventure started in Adelaide (blog archive 2010-2012) with Mediterranean / Warm Temperate Climate. Now we grow our own food in Tropical Climate in a green zone 20 less kilometre away from the Malaysia capital city Kuala Lumpur.
